Everytime I want to take LaPorta out to pasture he does something like that.

He is the oddest player I believe I have ever seen.

Playing here is the closest thing to heaven. Really, I mean it's amazing to be in a place where the fans truly cherish their football team and stick behind them win or lose. We players love them, too. I feel a sense of accomplishment playing here, we are a special breed of football players with a great opportunity." ~ tOSU LB Brian Rolle

Listen I HATE Matt LaPorta. I nearly detest his very existence. That said, the guy is going to get all kinds of rope with us because A) he's right-handed B) he's a young "potential" power hitter.

Teams historically will give these guys more rope because power hitters can be late bloomers.

Mind you, I do not believe Matt LaPorta is anything more than a AAAA player and never will be more. Mainly because I think he might be one of the stupidest baseball players I've ever seen when it comes to his approach offensively and defensively.

But hell, I'll take what he can give us any night.
